Rococo Gold Leaf Master Bed
At OE-FASHION Furniture, the bed is engineered not merely as furniture, but as a micro-architecture within the room. The Rococo Gold Leaf Master Bed exemplifies the structural exuberance of the Rococo Royal style, utilising a robust skeletal frame to support heavy-gauge carved ornamentation without compromising long-term stability.
Aesthetic Structure & Proportions
The headboard features a distinctive “winged” profile, offering acoustic containment and a sense of enclosure. The crest rail is dominated by pierced florid carving, which transitions seamlessly into the side rails, creating a continuous visual loop. This specific curvature requires advanced timber steaming and laminating techniques to ensure the grain direction supports the load path of the intricate scrollwork.
Construction Logic & Material Behaviour
The chassis is constructed from seasoned solid beech, chosen for its tight grain and ability to hold fine detail under the chisel. The gold leaf finish is applied over a traditional red bole substrate, allowing for burnishing that enhances the depth of the carving.
- Joinery: Double-doweled and corner-blocked rails for torsional rigidity.
- Upholstery: High-density foam core with traditional deep buttoning (Capitonné) to maintain fabric tension.
- Surface: Hand-applied gold leaf protected by a clear shellac seal to prevent oxidation.
Functional Integration & Ergonomics
The mattress platform sits on a reinforced slat system or solid platform base (client specified), engineered to distribute weight evenly and prevent mattress sagging. The headboard pitch is calibrated to provide ergonomic back support for seated users, balancing the decorative relief with physical comfort.
Installation & Project Constraints
The headboard is supplied as a single structural unit or a split-frame assembly depending on site access (elevator/staircase width). Verification of entry points is mandatory before fabrication.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is the gold finish painted or leafed?
A: We use authentic metal leaf (gold or imitation gold based on budget), hand-applied sheet by sheet. It is not a spray paint, ensuring a genuine metallic lustre and texture.
Q: Can the bed accommodate an adjustable mattress base?
A: Yes. We can modify the internal rail cleats to house third-party motorised mattress systems. Please provide the mechanism specifications during the CAD phase.
Q: How do I clean the tufted upholstery?
A: We recommend professional vacuuming with a soft brush attachment. For deep cleaning, use a specialist dry-cleaning service to avoid water stains on velvet or silk.
